Povzetek
Ravnateljeve naloge so obsežne in komplekse. Novoimenovani ravnatelji se zato znajdejo pred številnimi izzivi, ki jih prinaša nova vloga. Zato je Šola za ravnatelje leta 2004 razvila program Mentorstvo novoimenovanim ravnateljem. Namenjen je ravnateljem v prvem mandatu. Usposabljanje poteka v manjših skupinah, velik del programa pa zajemajo srečanja med izkušenim ravnateljem mentorjem in novoimenovanim ravnateljem – mentorirancem, kar omogoča individualen pristop k reševanju konkretnih izzivov. Pokazalo se je, da je mentorstvo pomemben dejavnik vseživljenjskega učenja ravnateljev za oba udeleženca. V članku predstavljamo nekaj bistvenih koristi mentorstva za mentorirance in mentorje, pri čemer poudarjamo priložnosti za učenje. Osrednji del je opis programa Mentorstvo novoimenovanim ravnateljem, ki ga dopolnjujemo z vtisi mentorice, mentoriranke in koordinatorja programa. Zaključujemo s smernicami za nadaljnji razvoj programa.
Abstract
Professional Development through Group Counselling for Headteachers: A Swedish Example
In this paper a Swedish example of professional developmental group counselling is described and discussed. This version of counselling is conducted at the National School Principal Training Program at Uppsala University. Reflection and dialogue with colleagues are meant to contribute to professional learning and development of the individual’s personal professional capacity. The intentions of the chosen counselling approach are described, as are the settings and the role of the facilitator. The development of issues brought to the sessions are outlined as well as reflections from the participants. Finally some opportunities and challenges are discussed.
